Questions about this forum's policies
hi everyone.
There is *lots* of help here about Puppy.
There is also help here (in the FAQ link at the top of the page) about using the forum software.
But what I can't find is any help about the "soft" aspects of the forum.
My immediate question was "how do I ask for the right to upload attachments?".
My meta-question is "Where (if anywhere) should I have looked for the answer to the immediate question?"
Regards

As far as I know only attachments with these file extensions are allowed:
Archives: ace, bz2, gtar, gz, pet, pup, rar, tar, zip
Images: gif, jpeg, jpg, png, tga, tif, xpm
Max Size: 256 KB
For larger files you would have to provide a link to your website or a file sharing site.

That may be right. It sounds sensible to discourage spam.Amgine wrote:I am not sure, I think you might need 50 posts. "But I might be thinking of a different forum"

The forum is not tightly controlled as to size of posting attachments, but the forum is being supplied by JohnMurga and he pays for the storage and bandwidth used.
Anything to help keep his cost down is a big help.
As a general rule keep it as small as you can.
Less than 1GB in size.
Again,
For larger files you would have to provide a link to your website or a file sharing site.
JohnMurga believes in keeping the forum as open as possible. Tight control is not his way of operating.
The Puppy developers have more access to the forum and can post whatever they need to.
General users are, for the most part, limited to type of attachment and asked to be helpful in keeping size to a minimum.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

yes it is there, but I have an upload limit of zero bytes.starhawk wrote:...
The "Add an attachment" blue bar and info should be right below the thread posting stuff, directly under "Notify me when a reply is posted".
...
I'm not complaining, as spam is a [rude word] nuisance. But it is odd that there is no info to tell me about why, or how to get it changed.
And a 50 post limit could be taken by some as an incentive to spam.... I was assuming there might be some human element involved in turning it on.

The "Maximum Upload Size: 0 Bytes" text just means that it's 'unlimited' - I have it, too, and I've posted attachments to the forum, before.
...but if there is indeed a hard limit of 256kB for an attachment, now, perhaps the text should be changed to reflect that.

The one ad on this forum still shows through, tho!
No I was asking the OP, I don't think ad-block would keep him from using the attachments.
I am thanking more of a script blocker, or a Cookie issue.

But when I tried to upload an attachment it said I had uploaded a zero length file, and refused to accept it.Makoto wrote:The "Maximum Upload Size: 0 Bytes" text just means that it's 'unlimited' - I have it, too, and I've posted attachments to the forum, before.

And in my profile, if I click on the attachemnts link, it says I have no options.
I will try to attach a small file to this message... it is a gzip of a text file rather than an image
Edit:: yes it worked, and I have now deleted it again.
So, yes I am confused (but happy).
I still wonder why I couldn't upload the same file the other day when I first tried? Guess I will never know. and I won't spend any more time wondering.....
Thank you all for your help, especially as it turns out all I needed to do was to "try it again"

Most (if not all) of the files I've attached, have been uploaded from the my-documents folder.
And, I do use NoScript, but I always white-list murga-linux.com (otherwise, it'll block things like the buttons in the forum's editor from working, among other things). I usually have to do something like that for phpBB forums.
